Product details
Overview
SI83418BDA-IFR from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel isolated smart switch IC with galvanic CMOS isolation, configured as high-side switches delivering 700 mA continuous current per channel (RON = 155 mΩ) and supporting 9–32 V switch supply voltage. It integrates SPI-based diagnostics, overcurrent/overtemperature protection, and 1.5 kVRMS safety-rated isolation for industrial PLC output modules driving solenoids and relays.
For engineers reviewing the SI83418BDA-IFR datasheet, SI83418BDA-IFR pinout, SI83418BDA-IFR application, or SI83418BDA-IFR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, real-world diagnostic reporting behavior, SPI-controlled fault management, and precise channel-level protection thresholds - all confirmed for the SI83418BDA-IFR variant per Skyworks' official Si834x datasheet Rev. 206512A.
Technical Context
The SI83418BDA-IFR implements four independent high-side switch channels, each with dedicated isolation barriers using RF-modulated CMOS isolation (not optocoupler-based), achieving >100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. Each channel includes integrated voltage, current, and temperature sensing with autonomous protection logic.
It uses an SPI-only interface (no parallel control pins) for full diagnostic access and switch enable/disable control via SW_EN register bits; fault reporting includes eight distinct diagnostics (e.g., open-circuit, overcurrent, VDD2 undervoltage) communicated through status registers and an active-low FLT pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Channels | 4 high-side switches - enables consolidated control of multiple industrial loads without external driver stages. |
| Continuous Current per Channel | 700 mA - supports standard solenoid and relay coils in PLC I/O modules without derating at 125°C ambient. | RON (per channel) | 155 mΩ - minimizes power loss (≤77 mW at 700 mA) and thermal rise in compact DFN-32 packages. |
| Switch Supply Range | 9 V–32 V - compatible with 24 V DC industrial bus systems and tolerant of brownout conditions down to 9 V. |
| Logic Supply Range | 2.25 V–5.5 V - interfaces directly with low-voltage MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without level-shifting. |
| Isolation Rating | 1.5 kVRMS - UL 1577-recognized for reinforced insulation in functional safety applications up to CAT II. |
| CMTI | >100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy factory environments with fast-switching motor drives. |
| Diagnostic Interface | SPI-only (MOSI/MISO/SCLK/NSS) - provides read/write access to eight fault registers and channel status without parallel pin overhead. |
Pinout & Package
SI83418BDA-IFR is housed in a compact 9 mm × 9 mm DFN-32 package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for industrial PCB layouts requiring high-density isolation and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Logic supply input | Powers digital interface (SPI, registers); accepts 2.25–5.5 V; internal UVLO at ~2.05 V. |
| VDD2 | Switch supply input (x4) | Provides power to all four high-side drivers; 9–32 V range; monitored for undervoltage warning and shutdown. |
| GND1 / GND2 | Logic ground / switch ground | Galvanically isolated grounds - mandatory separation prevents ground-loop noise coupling into sensitive control circuits. |
| MOSI / MISO / SCLK / NSS | SPI interface signals | Full-duplex SPI port for configuration, status reads, and SW_EN bit control; operates up to 10 MHz. |
| FLT | Active-low fault indicator | Open-drain output pulsed low on any diagnostic fault (e.g., overtemperature, open load); cleared only after fault removal + tCFD delay. |
| B1–B4 | High-side switch outputs | Four isolated source outputs - each drives load between Bn and VDD2; internally clamped against inductive kickback. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND2; must be soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal management (θJA ≈ 32°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based CMOS isolation | Eliminates LED aging and CTR drift of optocouplers; guarantees >100 kV/µs CMTI across full temperature range. |
| Smart output clamp | Multi-voltage clamp handles unlimited demagnetization energy (EAS) while enabling fast turn-OFF (<1 µs) for inductive loads. |
| Inrush Current Mode | Not enabled on SI83418BDA-IFR - distinguishes it from AAA/ADA variants; optimized for steady-state solenoid control. |
| Eight diagnostics via SPI | Includes VDD2 undervoltage, overtemperature, overcurrent, open-circuit, communication error - all independently readable and clearable. |
| Asynchronous output disable | No OE pin - disable is software-controlled via SPI SW_EN register, enabling coordinated multi-channel shutdown sequences. |
| IEC 61131-2 compliance | Meets Type 1/Type 3 input/output requirements for programmable controllers - validated for 24 V DC industrial signal integrity. |
